The Wall is a loving place
        ...a healing place
        where America comes to bare her soul;
        to lay before you,
        her wounded bodies, hurting hearts,
        tormented minds and broken spirits.        The Wall is a gathering place
        to embrace you once more;
        to touch you and feel your presence;
        to hold fast to the memories,
        throughout eternity.
        The Wall is a tribute to you;
        a sacred place of Honor.
        ...A home for thanksgiving
        for you and your memory.
        The Wall is a hiding place
        where America comes...
        to bury her shame
        and to humble herself
        in your forgiveness.
        The wall is a leaving place
        where we leave you...
        with our love always;
        ...with our eternal thanks;
        and...with the emptiness in our hearts
        that only you could fill.
